The design plan rolled out today, part of the first phase of construction, is to go before the Redevelopment Commission on Tuesday.

If city officials approve it, construction is slated for the second half of next year, with people projected to move in sometime in 2011.

The proposal covers the third and fourth residential blocks in the massive development plan. Construction is to begin as early as January on the first two blocks of housing on the hilltop.

The new condominium development unveiled today is to hold 66 townhouses and 93 flats designed with glass, corrugated steel, stucco and wood features. Roofs sport solar panels, garages are mostly in back to make sidewalks feel pedestrian friendly and maximize street parking. Fifteen percent of the units are affordable homes. All of the townhouses have either decks or open space on the ground floor.

The buildings are designed to suggest a pedestrian scale rather than large condo blocks and will be largely marketed toward entry-level home buyers, Lennar Vice President John Robertson said.

“The challenge is to make it look like it’s organically grown over time,” said the architect, Kava Massih.
